'Damn you Corbyn. I cheated death that day.'

Jeremy Corbyn has faced criticism for referring to the “wars and terror” that followed the September 11 attacks in a controversial tweet.

The Labour leader, who played a leading role in the Stop the War Coalition opposed to the military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, came under attack on social media after posting a tweet on the 15th anniversary of the attack.

My thoughts are with those whose lives were shattered on 9/11/2001 - and in the wars and terror unleashed across the globe in its aftermath

The full statement released by Corbyn said: “My thoughts are with those whose lives were shattered 15 years ago in the horrific atrocity on 9/11 - and in the wars and terror unleashed across the globe in its aftermath.”

Anyone who finds 'offence' in this tweet is deliberately looking to be offended.I'm 100% behind Corbyn on THIS. pic.twitter.com/KSvLJhiJ3z
